#CandyCrush: Bulgari designs the ice cream of the summer

An unadulterated surprise of emeralds and king-size sapphires from the Festa fine jewelry collection: youthful designs of lollipops and ice creams, encased in precious stones.

Unveiled in Venice and then Paris amidst the hustle and bustle of Couture Week, Bulgari’s Italian Festa collection celebrates a local joie de vivre and inspires nights dancing until the small hours to the sounds of frenzied rhythms. Among these fine jewelry pieces showcasing emeralds, diamonds and sapphires of more than 50 carats, hides a highly colorful and playful collection. Pistachio pastries, strawberry ice creams and mint lollipops are decorated with rose gold and sprinkled with diamonds, while concealing a center of gourmet rubies. Decidedly the most delightful surprise of the summer, to be worn as a brooch without moderation.

From chic plexiglass earrings at Chanel to gold hoops at Céline, through to mismatched at Jacquemus and ultra-long at Saint Laurent, there are the accessories guaranteed to get you in the street style snaps this Fashion Week.

In 2010, Rihanna was Jacquie Aiche’s first client to fall in love with her hand and body chains made of gold and diamonds. This jewelry-as-second-skin trend was soon seen on Victoria’s Secret models, stacked on top of necklaces and turquoise talismans. Could this be the perfect jewelry set to try out this February 14?
